Candace Horsley- Ukiah City Manager 1993-2007
When I was City Manager for the City of Ukiah, I knew we could depend on Spencer for anything that he had agreed to take on. He understood budget constraints, how to manage people, when to put the pressure on to accomplish a task and how to achieve the required timelines. The spectrum of his experience is extremely broad and he brings knowledge, expertise, and leadership abilities to any situation. There are few, if any, people in our region that can handle major events from start to finish as can Spencer.
Jennifer Seward, CEO Redwood Empire Fairgrounds
It was a pleasure working with Spencer Brewer to produce our first annual BBQ cook-off at the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds. Spencer did an amazing job and created a wonderful event with little input from me. It's nice to know that there is a professional local business to turn to when the Fairgrounds has production and promotional needs. I look forward to working with Spencer on many future projects!
Ron Kinnamon, Former Assistant National Executive Director of the YMCA of the USA
I have known Spencer since he was in first grade and joined the YMCA that I was starting in Richardson, Texas. He was a great kid and teen, but what he became as an adult was fantastic. When he takes on something, he gets the job done. His ability to produce anything is exceptional and his creative ability is extraordinary. His role in producing a National YMCA Directors Conference with 1000 attendees made it one of the best we ever had.

It’s rare to find a business oriented individual that also has that kind of compassion and concern for people."

“Spencer is someone who listens, asks the hard questions, assembles the information and works cooperatively to design and implement a plan of action. He is a team player who coordinates with all the parties, collects the negatives and positives and then works to mutually figure out a recommended direction. He has an appealing positive attitude but he also is a realist who can size up what will or will not work. Spencer Brewer is the leader who can move Mendocino forward.”
